It’s our 50th Birthday at Leeds Playhouse this year and we’d love to celebrate with you! Over the past year, there’s been no nipping round for a brew, popping to the pub or going down the shops with a friend. At Leeds Playhouse we’ve missed this connection, we’ve missed you and your stories. In this booklet you will find a book of stories and illustrations, which we hope you will enjoy. The stories were written by four brilliant people, from four different communities in Leeds, celebrating where they live. We want to hear your stories about your community. You could write about a memory or celebration, what it was like growing up in your area, something unusual that happened, share an anecdote or even a love story that’s never been told. Take a look at our creative activity below and join in! We will be holding Bring a Brew sessions on Zoom every Tuesday at 2pm and Thursday at 11am. We’d love for you to join us; to share your stories, meet others and hear theirs too. Please email us at engagement@leedsplayhouse.org.uk or call us on 0113 213 7700 to join. |

Half a Century Stories in the Bramall Rock Void From the week of 12 July, we’re inviting people to work together with members of the Playhouse team to try something creative, share stories and imagine the next 50 years of Leeds to help shape our future community production. There will be in-person ‘meet and make’ sessions to get to know each other and explore ideas, with Zoom sessions to follow up. We’d like to film our storytellers share their stories in our intimate theatre space, the Bramall Rock Void, ready to be streamed and shared to an invited audience. If you’d like to take part in this opportunity or have any questions, get in touch! |

As part of our 50th birthday celebrations, we’ve been working with communities in Leeds on a very unique storybook, Half a Century Stories, that’s been delivered to doorsteps around Leeds. For this creative activity, we’re inviting you to tell us about your own experiences of your community. What are your favourite memories of your area? Do you have a favourite place that everyone knows and loves? Tell us in a couple of sentences or send us a picture – let us know what you love about your community and we’ll share them in the next newsletter! |
